Connect-AzAccount hangs in Visual Studio Code terminal
Description
When using "Connect-AzAccount" it hangs in the terminal with the message "Please select the account you want to login with."
I can't actually select a subscription however, it just hangs at that point with a "pop-behind" login prompt. That is, the Windows authentication UI appears under the Visual Studio Code window.
PS: The exact same behavior is observed with Out-GridView, or any other PowerShell GUI element launched from the VS Code console.

Thanks for reporting :) @msJinLei we may want to (a) check if our utlity of getting the handle of the parent window is up to date with MSAL's recommeded implementation and (b) escalate to MSAL team.

@peter-bertok Can you see the popup windows? Or could you provide a screen snapshot for the case you encountered?
When I run the Connect-AzAccount command, the popup window is not visible.
It appears* behind* the VS Code window, as a "pop behind". If I carefully minimise the VS Code Window or change its size and drag it around, I can click on the login window. Otherwise it is invisible and cannot be easily selected.

Got it. The popup windows is not easy to find.
@msJinLei in my case there is no pop-behind whatsoever, following the same instructions noted here.

@JustinGrote Could you run Connect-AzAccount -Debug and paste and debug log here and remember to remove the private information

i wasn't seeing any pop up either. however I found it hidden behind many open apps in the end. it was a modern auth pop up. previous experience was to open the browser. Then after the pop up, i see the following... and was able to connect.
Please select the account you want to login with.
Retrieving subscriptions for the selection...

Same here, popup does show, but it doesnt literally pop up, it will get displayed behind all active apps you have running. More like pop-under!
Hello, I wanted to add one more thing to this. If you use multiple desktops it is possible that the window won't show up on the current desktop. Also, the window does not seem to have an icon in the task bar so it makes it extremely difficult to find.
I still have the same issue as @shaneholder and @erwinkramer. It is just because the window credentials was under all my active apps !
Will this be addressed? Seems like this has been an issue for a long time. I am forced to stay on az.accounts 2.9.1 until this is resolved.
I just tested and it works fine for me in PowerShell Extension Terminal.
Still broken as of today, with the latest VS Code and the latest Az module. The login pops in behind the IDE window, not in front of it like it should. This is trivial to reproduce.
